### 3/5 — Server support

*2026-03-02, version 1.5.4*

The game haven’t received any update since 2021 making there is a major bug that result to player unable to get full experience of the game. The bug is: unable to play as the commander (only simulation). Which making the game unplayable.

### 4/5 — 500

*2026-01-18, version 1.5.4*

Please fix a bug when I go into the game a error 500 pops up please fix

### 3/5 — Need a update

*2025-05-12, version 1.5.4*

Need a update

### 2/5 — Bueno pero mal

*2025-04-29, version 1.5.4*

Buen juego, entretenido. Sin embargo estarás mil horas con problemas en los Dineros, puntos de EXP. Le falta unas buenas actualizadas

### 2/5 — Récompenses trop faibles

*2024-10-13*

J’ai joué au jeu il y a 10 ans, je l’ai remis car de souvenir ce jeu été super.
Rien à dire sur le concept qui est top, le problème c’est les affectations et les dégâts critiques sur les soldats. Obtenir des affectations ou soigner les soldats coûte extrêmement cher par rapport aux faibles récompenses de combat.
Le prix des guérisons escalade de 100 à chaque fois, impossible à tenir, et si on change de soldat ça veut dire qu’on doit en voir d’autres, et vu qu’il est extrêmement difficile d’avoir des billets, on se retrouve vite avec des soldats « nuls » et le jeu est en quelques sorte bloqué.

Dommage j’adore le concept, mais je vois que le jeu n’a pas bougé d’un poil depuis 10ans…

### 2/5 — Ads bugged

*2023-12-17, version 1.5.4*

WAYYYY too many ads. Not only that, but I can never exit out of them when they complete so I have to restart the app every single time. Game is decent overall but this makes it almost unplayable…

### 3/5 — Missing something

*2023-08-22, version 1.5.4*

Is the other RAW game I could control a player and it was a munch better experience. Not a fan of just simulating a fight and not being able to play as a character in this one.

### 3/5 — Account Recovery

*2023-04-30, version 1.5.4*

Used to love this game when I was younger and wanted to check it out again but I forget my team name and password. Such a shame there is no option to recover the account using an email or something.

### 4/5 — Hard

*2023-01-15, version 1.5.4*

The game always make me battle strong people and stuff like that so can u make people be on the same level and rank as you?

### 1/5 — Bad game

*2021-09-18, version 1.5.4*

Unbalance pay to win and trash never download it

### 1/5 — Bad game

*2021-08-12, version 1.5.4*

Needs lots of improvements with the controlls

### 1/5 — Watching is boring

*2021-07-22, version 1.5.4*

You can’t play/control the characters. The game is completely misleading unless you read the description carefully. 

This game is ZERO fun. I don’t understand why anyone would bother. One round was enough for me to delete it.

### 1/5 — Boring

*2021-04-16, version 1.5.2*

Boring game

### 1/5 — INTERNAL SERVER ERROR FIX

### 1/5 — Yo

Anyone still play this game? Definitely needs a new update

### 1/5 — Please fix the game resolution.

*2025-01-24, version 1.5.4*

I am so glad to find out this game is still on AppStore, but the game is currently not working as it is stretched and none of the button works. Please fix the issue because the game is deffo 5 stars worth!

### 1/5 — Pésima actualización

*2023-10-21, version 1.5.4*

Antes se podía interactuar como soldado, ahora es solo ver, horrible

### 1/5 — If I worked for HOTHEAD

*2023-10-15, version 1.5.4*

If I worked for hothead I wouldn’t be wasting my time… I’d be updating this game as well as the basketball and NHL with new features not just bug fixes every 2 years… do better for a community that’s made you a substantial amount of money over the years… At least I know you’ve taken mine. It’s about time someone from this company starts reading reviews and making strides to make there games better. The opportunity this game and the Big win Basketball game have to be a top game in the Apple Store is crazy if only the developers cared.

### 1/5 — Error

*2023-08-22, version 1.5.4*

I can’t create a team at the start

### 1/5 — Does not let me play

*2023-07-07, version 1.5.4*

*2025-09-28*
